At the Globe and Mail, Brian Davis takes a shot at editing the first two chapters of Dan Brown’s just released novel, The Lost Symbol. Davis’s comments, embedded in Brown’s manuscript in track changes format, are hilarious (if a bit snarky).
I read The Da Vinci Code (under pressure from friends) and didn't much care for it. I understand there's a huge market for that kind of book, and I respect that. Kudos to Dan Brown for making millions from the written word, but his style is not my thing. For me, I found the writing in The Da Vinci Code to be merely adequate and the story to be fairly cliched.
Just curious, what do you think of Dan Brown's writing? Have you read any of his books?
